Nanoforum 2007

Description

Scenery

Among the emerging technologies, nanotechnologies represent for the industrial world a very important chance of growth and innovation. In fact, they allow to assemble, manipulate and characterize matter at the molecular and atomic level, that is at the level of nanometre dimension, touching, as seen in the last two editions of nanoforum, the most varied fields of research: from health to biotechnology, from agriculture to computer science, from materials to space research, from enviroment to safety, etc.

Nanoforum 2007

The third edition of nanoforum intends to be once again a first-rate meeting point for the spreading of the new opportunities offered by nanotechnologies, so favouring the process of technological transfer from the academic world to the entrepreneurial one.
If Enterprises have a research department, they will find the right answers to their needs, by finding some of the greatest experts in the sector; instead, if Enterprises do not have a research department, or anyway they are not still ready for these strongly innovative aspects, they will be able to understand “what to do” and “with whom to do”, by coming into contact with Italian and foreign researchers. The project site, constantly updated, is www.nanoforum.it/en.
